It is the aim and the hope of the work¬ ers in this campaign, and of all the friends of the society, to be able to erect this building next year—the twen¬ tieth anniversary of the founding of the Jewish Consumptives' Relief Society— and so enable the institution to extend cure and relief to all consumptives seek¬ ing its aid.
DENVER SANATORIUM
NEEDS NEW BUILDING
Tuberculous Women Require
Special Provision, Asserts
Superintendent
NEW YORK.—The report of the medical superintendent of the Denver Sanatorium maintained by the Jewish Consumptives' Relief Society, just pub¬ lished, demonstrates the need of special provision for women patients. • A new buifding, for which the major portion of the' funds was obtained by the New York Ladies' Auxiliary of the society, has recently been dedicated and equipped in such manner as to make the institution ^tand out among the foremost institutions in this country for the cure of tuberculosis. But already the need of more room to accommodate the applicants is apparent.
In his report, Dr. I. D. Dronfin, su¬ perintendent, points out that although the northern half of the second, flooi" and the corresponding wing in the new building arc devoted to the care of women patients, nevertheless there is room to accommodate forty-seven only. On account of "extreme pres¬ sure from applicants," says the report, "we had to crowd those wards to ac¬ commodate fifty-four. The women's waiting list is now much larger than that of men. This in itself would prove the need of additional facilities, but aside from that, it has been found that it is best to segregate the sexes, and there is no doubt that such segre- (Concluded on page 4)
What is happening just now in I Czecho-Slovakia strengthens the belief that there is in existence a central office for international anti-Semitic propa¬ ganda, the plain object of which is to stir up a powerful anti-Jewish movement throughout the world.
The organization works hand in hand with the- Catholic Qiurch. Especially prominent in it has been the powerful Jesuit Order, which during the last few nionths has become very active in Cen¬ tral Europe.
The anti-Semitic propaganda is cai'- ricd on even in countries which have few Jews, or none at all, such as Scan¬ dinavia and Italy. The "Swastika" or¬ ganizations, which have lately sprung up in Austria, the "Froritkamoher," the "Orgesch," and the numerous other monarchist societies in Germany, the "Rozwoj" in Poland, the notorious "Awakening Magyars," . the Russian ¦monarchist circles in Paris, Berlin, Mu¬ nich, Prague and Belgrade—all are anxious to win support for their mon¬ archist aims, and are exploiting anti- Semitism as a means to that end.
There is evidence to prove that all these organizations intend to combine into one powerful "Blaek International." That Germany is the center of most of Ihese organizations is proven beyond doubt, by the fact that it is from that country that anti-Semitic propaganda literature is being forwarded to other countries. It has also been ascertained that the - activities of the monarchist societies abroad have been influenced and directed by those in Germany.
The headquarters of the Russian mon¬ archists are still, as hitherto, in Paris, where they have during the last week been very active. At the present mo¬ ment they are conferring with the French Government with a, view to organiz¬ ing a counter-revolution in the Ukraine. These activities in Paris are being con¬ ducted under the leadersliip of the Grand Duke Cyril Vladimirovitch,

MONEY FOR GREAT ENTERPRISES TO
COME FROM GREAT BRITAIN AND THE U. S.
PHILADELPHIA, PA. —In a copy¬ righted dispatch, dated Jerusalem, Sep¬ tember 17, the Public Ledger this week publishes the following article from its correspondent,. George Nox McCain, re¬ printed in the Jeimsk Exponent by spe¬ cial arrangement with the Ledger:
— Great Britain's proverbial ability to "muddle through somehow" is go¬ ing to be put to a severe test before she finally gets to the end of the Pal¬ estine question..'
There are. thousands of persons in these cities, on the sun-baked hills and in the fruitful valleys who believe that Bri¬ tain will never be able to muddle through, certainly not without (great tribulation and loss.
In this and the succeeding articles I shall reflect conditions and opinions as I have found them. I have covered many miles of travel, from Beersheba to Tiberias and down to Jaffa by the sea.
I have interviewed prominent Zion¬ ists, as well' as leading Moslems, Chris¬ tians, business men, teachers and re¬ ligionists. What follows are their views, not mine.
Palestine is the southern end of Syria. It is appro.ximately 140 miles long and- from twenty-three miles to sixty miles broad. It contains 6010 square miles of territory. It ^as a pop¬ ulation, according to the latest figures, of 757,000. Of that total 672,000 are Palestinian Arabs, Moslems and Chris¬ tians. There are 85,O0O Jews.
For many years before the World War, Jews in small numbers had been returning to Palestine. In 1901 there were twenty-three separate Jewish colonies in the country. The longing of the race for its ancestral home and the aid afforded returning Jev\rs by the Co.lonization Society, founded by Baron de Hirsch, were responsible for these colonies.
World War Begin*
Then came the World War and its aftermath. On November 2; 1917, Mr. Balfour made his now celebrated decla¬ ration that Great Britain would help
establish a national home for Jews in Palestine. In April, 1920, the San Remo Conference gave Great Britain the man¬ date for Palestine.
In the succeeding years the Balfour declaration was never permitted to drop from sight by Zionists or anti-Zionists. It vvas openly charged that Mr, Balfour was swayed to make that declaration by powerful Jewish interests. In Pales¬ tine it was iterated and reiterated that Great Britain had broken her sacred pledges.
These were that in return for Arab aid to the Allies, Great Britain had pledged herself to free Syria from the •Turkish yoke; and, second, to permit self-determination by her people, which, of course, included Palestine. She had fulfilled the first, but instead of Arab self-determination she had turned Pal¬ estine over to the Jews in the Bal- four declaration. They pointed out as confirmation of their charge that Sir Herbert Samuel, la Jew, had been appointed High Commissioner. Other Jews had been named to important Cabinet positions.
The'protests against what is called the Zionizing of Palestine came from all classes of Christians and Moslems in Palestine. Throughput this agitation the Jews, backed by Great Britain, went steadily ahead with the work of raising funds, establishing colonies and pro moting emigration.
. Anti-Semitic propaganda among the Arabs aroused them to a-high pitch. It was somewhat modified in April, 1920, by the action of the San Remo Con ference. It flared up later in outbreaks tliat had results.
In November, 1921, in Washington, Mr. Balfour reaffirmed his declaration about a national homeland for the Jews President Harding also expressed sym¬ pathy with the Zionists' aims. M. Brl- and, for France, pledged her best wishes and influence,

migration and emigration from and to Russia,
The Worlrl War led to a complete standstill of emigration from Russia. Some' time ago a revival in emigra¬ tion became noticeable, but hitherto it has taken place under abnormally diffi¬ cult conditions. The Russflot (The Russian Shipping Agency) and the Dobroflot (the Volunteer Fleet), which in accordance with the decree of the -Ml-Riissia Central Executive Commit¬ tee had been granted monopolies, have not at their disposal at the present time sufficient tonnage to take over the whole business of emigration in Russian .ships. " As a result, emigrants were forced to have recourse to foreign shipping com¬ panies, the agents of which could not be subjected to proper control by the Russian Government.
Under these circumstances the treat¬ ment of emigrants has been anything but satisfactory. The accommodations pro- ' vided on board the foreign vessels was bad and the food supplies insuificient.
The ratification of the present agree¬ ment puts an end to this state of affairs. But whilst attracting foreign shipping companies to participate in the trans¬ port of emigrants, this concession agree¬ ment at the same time places the actual control of emigration and immigration in the hands of the Soviet Govern¬ ment.
In accordan'<:e with the agreement the Ocean Transport Bureau is to be a mixed company, consisting of, on the one hand, the Russflot and Dobroflot,'

Congress would, for the first time, as sembic in ' New York city having aroused much interest in all the cir¬ cles and organizations which have hitherto been identified with the move¬ ment. It is uriderstood that the Con¬ gress will consider such questions as Jewish rights abroad, the situation of Jewish refugees, 1 immigration, tlie .spread of anti-Semitism, the condition of Jewish educational institutions in Eastern Europe, the proposed Jewish World Congress for Palestine; and the address to be delivered by Mr. Zang¬ will reviewing the whole Jewish situ¬ ation throughout the -world will prob¬ ably form the basis of some of the de¬ cisions to be reached.
The sessions of the Congress will open on Sunday afternoon, October 14, in the Grand Ball Room of the Hotel Commodore, and all the other sessions will be carried on in this hotel, where a registration bureau and headquarters for the delegates are also being es¬ tablished. The large mass meeting, at which Mr. Zangwill will deliver the chief address, vvill be held in Car¬ negie Hall on Sunday evening, October 14, and Dr. Stephen S. Wise, chair¬ man of the Executive Committee" of the American Jewish Congress, is to be chairman on this occasion. Present at this gathering will be some of the most prominent Jews of New York and other cities. Among those who have already reserved boxes are the Hon. Samuel Untermyer, Nathan Straus, Judge Aaron J. Levy, Dr. Stephen S. Wise, Congressman Sol Bloom, Dr. L W. Held, Joseph Barondess, Bernard Semel, George I. Fox.
Mr. Israel Zangwill, who, during his stay here, is to be the guest of Mr. Nathan Straus, the President of the American Jewish Congress, will be re¬ ceived on his arrival in behalf of the Zangwill Reception Committee,' vvhich has just been formed,' and of which Mr. Samuel Untermyer ' is chairman.

Russian immigrants .ind emigrants on transatlantic routes vvill be carried ex¬ clusively on the vessels of the companies participating in the newly formed bu¬ reau.
The agreement lays down definitely the quantity and quality of rations to be. issued to Russian emigrants on board, as well as the area of deck space per passenger.
Among its other functions the Ocean Transport Bureau will exchange mo¬ ney for. emigrants, under the direct con¬ trol and vvith the participation of the State Bank. The new company is em¬ powered to open- departments ovar the whole territory of > the Union of ^viet Republics. —.,
At the same time, the constituent com¬ panies undertake to maintain no com¬ mission agents on that territory, con¬ ducting any sort of emigration or immi¬ gration business, and they undertake not to accept passengers who have not in their possession the necessary per¬ mits to go in or out of' the country.
The basic capital of the company ts fixed at £15,000 vvhich is subscribed en¬ tirely by the concessionaires, who then hand over without change 50 per cent of the shares to the Soviet Govern¬ ment.
The shipping companies paV the mixed company a commission on every ticket sold. In addition, the companies pay the'Government a special tax of $5 for each immigrant and emigrant. The mixed company also pays ..all ordinary taxes levied by the Government.

It is the aim and the hope of the work¬ ers in this campaign, and of all the friends of the society, to be able to erect this building next year—the twen¬ tieth anniversary of the founding of the Jewish Consumptives' Relief Society— and so enable the institution to extend cure and relief to all consumptives seek¬ ing its aid.
DENVER SANATORIUM
NEEDS NEW BUILDING
Tuberculous Women Require
Special Provision, Asserts
Superintendent
NEW YORK.—The report of the medical superintendent of the Denver Sanatorium maintained by the Jewish Consumptives' Relief Society, just pub¬ lished, demonstrates the need of special provision for women patients. • A new buifding, for which the major portion of the' funds was obtained by the New York Ladies' Auxiliary of the society, has recently been dedicated and equipped in such manner as to make the institution ^tand out among the foremost institutions in this country for the cure of tuberculosis. But already the need of more room to accommodate the applicants is apparent.
In his report, Dr. I. D. Dronfin, su¬ perintendent, points out that although the northern half of the second, flooi" and the corresponding wing in the new building arc devoted to the care of women patients, nevertheless there is room to accommodate forty-seven only. On account of "extreme pres¬ sure from applicants," says the report, "we had to crowd those wards to ac¬ commodate fifty-four. The women's waiting list is now much larger than that of men. This in itself would prove the need of additional facilities, but aside from that, it has been found that it is best to segregate the sexes, and there is no doubt that such segre- (Concluded on page 4)
What is happening just now in I Czecho-Slovakia strengthens the belief that there is in existence a central office for international anti-Semitic propa¬ ganda, the plain object of which is to stir up a powerful anti-Jewish movement throughout the world.
The organization works hand in hand with the- Catholic Qiurch. Especially prominent in it has been the powerful Jesuit Order, which during the last few nionths has become very active in Cen¬ tral Europe.
The anti-Semitic propaganda is cai'- ricd on even in countries which have few Jews, or none at all, such as Scan¬ dinavia and Italy. The "Swastika" or¬ ganizations, which have lately sprung up in Austria, the "Froritkamoher," the "Orgesch," and the numerous other monarchist societies in Germany, the "Rozwoj" in Poland, the notorious "Awakening Magyars," . the Russian ¦monarchist circles in Paris, Berlin, Mu¬ nich, Prague and Belgrade—all are anxious to win support for their mon¬ archist aims, and are exploiting anti- Semitism as a means to that end.
There is evidence to prove that all these organizations intend to combine into one powerful "Blaek International." That Germany is the center of most of Ihese organizations is proven beyond doubt, by the fact that it is from that country that anti-Semitic propaganda literature is being forwarded to other countries. It has also been ascertained that the - activities of the monarchist societies abroad have been influenced and directed by those in Germany.
The headquarters of the Russian mon¬ archists are still, as hitherto, in Paris, where they have during the last week been very active. At the present mo¬ ment they are conferring with the French Government with a, view to organiz¬ ing a counter-revolution in the Ukraine. These activities in Paris are being con¬ ducted under the leadersliip of the Grand Duke Cyril Vladimirovitch,

MONEY FOR GREAT ENTERPRISES TO
COME FROM GREAT BRITAIN AND THE U. S.
PHILADELPHIA, PA. —In a copy¬ righted dispatch, dated Jerusalem, Sep¬ tember 17, the Public Ledger this week publishes the following article from its correspondent,. George Nox McCain, re¬ printed in the Jeimsk Exponent by spe¬ cial arrangement with the Ledger:
— Great Britain's proverbial ability to "muddle through somehow" is go¬ ing to be put to a severe test before she finally gets to the end of the Pal¬ estine question..'
There are. thousands of persons in these cities, on the sun-baked hills and in the fruitful valleys who believe that Bri¬ tain will never be able to muddle through, certainly not without (great tribulation and loss.
In this and the succeeding articles I shall reflect conditions and opinions as I have found them. I have covered many miles of travel, from Beersheba to Tiberias and down to Jaffa by the sea.
I have interviewed prominent Zion¬ ists, as well' as leading Moslems, Chris¬ tians, business men, teachers and re¬ ligionists. What follows are their views, not mine.
Palestine is the southern end of Syria. It is appro.ximately 140 miles long and- from twenty-three miles to sixty miles broad. It contains 6010 square miles of territory. It ^as a pop¬ ulation, according to the latest figures, of 757,000. Of that total 672,000 are Palestinian Arabs, Moslems and Chris¬ tians. There are 85,O0O Jews.
For many years before the World War, Jews in small numbers had been returning to Palestine. In 1901 there were twenty-three separate Jewish colonies in the country. The longing of the race for its ancestral home and the aid afforded returning Jev\rs by the Co.lonization Society, founded by Baron de Hirsch, were responsible for these colonies.
World War Begin*
Then came the World War and its aftermath. On November 2; 1917, Mr. Balfour made his now celebrated decla¬ ration that Great Britain would help
establish a national home for Jews in Palestine. In April, 1920, the San Remo Conference gave Great Britain the man¬ date for Palestine.
In the succeeding years the Balfour declaration was never permitted to drop from sight by Zionists or anti-Zionists. It vvas openly charged that Mr, Balfour was swayed to make that declaration by powerful Jewish interests. In Pales¬ tine it was iterated and reiterated that Great Britain had broken her sacred pledges.
These were that in return for Arab aid to the Allies, Great Britain had pledged herself to free Syria from the •Turkish yoke; and, second, to permit self-determination by her people, which, of course, included Palestine. She had fulfilled the first, but instead of Arab self-determination she had turned Pal¬ estine over to the Jews in the Bal- four declaration. They pointed out as confirmation of their charge that Sir Herbert Samuel, la Jew, had been appointed High Commissioner. Other Jews had been named to important Cabinet positions.
The'protests against what is called the Zionizing of Palestine came from all classes of Christians and Moslems in Palestine. Throughput this agitation the Jews, backed by Great Britain, went steadily ahead with the work of raising funds, establishing colonies and pro moting emigration.
. Anti-Semitic propaganda among the Arabs aroused them to a-high pitch. It was somewhat modified in April, 1920, by the action of the San Remo Con ference. It flared up later in outbreaks tliat had results.
In November, 1921, in Washington, Mr. Balfour reaffirmed his declaration about a national homeland for the Jews President Harding also expressed sym¬ pathy with the Zionists' aims. M. Brl- and, for France, pledged her best wishes and influence,

migration and emigration from and to Russia,
The Worlrl War led to a complete standstill of emigration from Russia. Some' time ago a revival in emigra¬ tion became noticeable, but hitherto it has taken place under abnormally diffi¬ cult conditions. The Russflot (The Russian Shipping Agency) and the Dobroflot (the Volunteer Fleet), which in accordance with the decree of the -Ml-Riissia Central Executive Commit¬ tee had been granted monopolies, have not at their disposal at the present time sufficient tonnage to take over the whole business of emigration in Russian .ships. " As a result, emigrants were forced to have recourse to foreign shipping com¬ panies, the agents of which could not be subjected to proper control by the Russian Government.
Under these circumstances the treat¬ ment of emigrants has been anything but satisfactory. The accommodations pro- ' vided on board the foreign vessels was bad and the food supplies insuificient.
The ratification of the present agree¬ ment puts an end to this state of affairs. But whilst attracting foreign shipping companies to participate in the trans¬ port of emigrants, this concession agree¬ ment at the same time places the actual control of emigration and immigration in the hands of the Soviet Govern¬ ment.
In accordan' the Union of ^viet Republics. —.,
At the same time, the constituent com¬ panies undertake to maintain no com¬ mission agents on that territory, con¬ ducting any sort of emigration or immi¬ gration business, and they undertake not to accept passengers who have not in their possession the necessary per¬ mits to go in or out of' the country.
The basic capital of the company ts fixed at £15,000 vvhich is subscribed en¬ tirely by the concessionaires, who then hand over without change 50 per cent of the shares to the Soviet Govern¬ ment.
The shipping companies paV the mixed company a commission on every ticket sold. In addition, the companies pay the'Government a special tax of $5 for each immigrant and emigrant. The mixed company also pays ..all ordinary taxes levied by the Government.
The agreement holds up to Decem¬ ber 31, 1924.
